that pulley is made by honda to eliminate the power steering. its lighter and well built. cant go wrong with hop parts. we will see how the paint turns out. ive painted a bunch of other stuff but never a whole car.
 
I heard the paint switch was coming. But is it only for their paint destined for Cali or ALL their paint?

Holy shit, i think i just came a little.
 
yea, patrick takes pretty awesome pictures. i like photographers that are inventive and use their surroundings to make the pictures look good.

did a compression test on the engine and pulled off the valve cover to re powdercoat it. compression test was solid and the cam lobes show ZERO sign of wear. this engine couldnt have more than 30k on it. im stoked.

this weekend, my welding buddy is going to come thru, weld some more points on my roll cage and stitch weld every seam on the engine bay. shes comin along.
 
anyone have any suggestions for an aftermarket front lower control arm? i ordered the skunk2 upper control arm with adjustable camber. also, any suggestions for good front traction bars?
 
engine bay painted championship white. i may just do this color for the white on the body because it looks pretty good and i dont feel like screwing with a 3 stage paint.

good shit..i dont think theres an aftermarket FL control arm..
 
I haven't seen any aftermarket front lowers man. As for traction bars I don't know about good brands but I know there is a guy on homemadeturbo.com that makes them custom for your car. I have heard he does good work if I can find his e-mail I'll let you know.

yea, i ended up just refinishing them and getting all new bushings. next on the list of things to do is get an ecu, figure out how to get the spindle bearings out to replace them, and start gathering front brake stuff. heres what i have in mind for the front brakes.....

Wilwood is always a good choice. This thread just reminds me that I need to get another job. :(
 
Turbo may have tumors in his eyes. I know it happens in humans when you take a picture and the eyes fog up that means eye tumors. Look it up.

Back on to the topic, whats the estimated time of completition, stat!
